GROUP CAMPAIGNS FOR CLOTHESLINES
Reuters - Widespread adoption of clotheslines could significantly reduce U.S. energy consumption, argued [Alexander Lee of Project Laundry List], who said dryer use accounts for about 6 percent of U.S. residential electricity use.
Florida, Utah, Maine, Vermont, Colorado, and Hawaii have passed laws restricting the rights of local authorities to stop residents using clotheslines. Another five states are considering similar measures. . .
Principal opponents are the housing associations such as condominiums and townhouse communities that are home to an estimated 60 million Americans, or about 20 percent of the population. About half of those organizations have 'no hanging' rules, Lee said, and enforce them with fines.

They mention "right to hang" in the article, but I've also heard the term "right to dry" used for campaigns to bring back outdoor clotheslines.
